From Simone Sgarbanti

While working at my job in Mantova, as a Carabiniere, I’ve met some people with drug and alcohol problems, others living on the street, who beg for change to buy food. Everyday I dedicate a little time from my work to talk to them and try to convince them to get help, help from a rehab centre for example, which may guide them to getting out of the dark “tunnel”, they’ve found themselves in. I was able to do this for one guy in particular, with another close to being admitted. Before Christmas, I gave some of my clothing to the one man, and the next day, when I saw him on the street, he hugged me and was wearing what I’d given him the day before.
